Name Directory: Stored cross-site scripting
The supplied CVSS vector requires a low-privilege authenticated account; the minimum WordPress role is not disclosed. Attacker-controlled content is stored and subsequently rendered without sufficient neutralization, allowing script execution in a visitor's browser under the site's origin. A victim must view the affected output; the export does not identify the field or establish that administrators are exposed. The authoritative export does not identify the vulnerable endpoint, action, parameter or function, so the exact request-to-operation path is undisclosed. Affected versions: <= 1.34.2. The authoritative export identifies 1.34.3 as fixed for this CVE.

This CVE was published Oct 05, 2026 and is one of 12 known issues for this plugin.
Update, patch or deactivate.
Update Name Directory to 1.34.3 or a later supported release. An application-level fix should address the following: Sanitize the accepted markup, escape each output context and remove any previously stored malicious content. Capability checks must also limit who can submit that content.
A safe version is available, so updating to that version or later is the preferred remediation. If an immediate update is not practical, consider a targeted application patch or temporarily restricting the affected functionality.
Deactivate only when warranted by your risk profile, or when advised by your hosting provider in the limited circumstances where the vulnerability cannot otherwise be mitigated. If you’re unsure which action is appropriate, contact Fused or your hosting provider for guidance.
